Corporate Self Defense Training in Colorado Springs

Looking for a team-building activity that isn’t the usual trust falls and escape rooms? We run hands-on self-defense seminars for companies, groups, and organizations across Colorado Springs — practical skills your team will actually remember, whether it’s a lunch-and-learn or a full evening event.

Self-Defense & Sushi: Our Signature Event

If you want something more memorable than a standard training session, this is it. Self-Defense & Sushi pairs a hands-on self-defense segment with a sushi-making lesson led by a local chef — genuinely engaging, and a little unexpected in a good way. Groups consistently tell us it’s one of the better team events they’ve done, whether it’s a workplace outing, a friends’ night out, or a leadership retreat.

What a Team Session Covers

Most sessions run 90 minutes to 3 hours, depending on how much hands-on practice you want. Shorter formats focus on awareness and a handful of practical escapes; longer sessions add scenario work.

Everything is taught from the ground up — nobody needs prior experience, and no one’s put in a position that feels unsafe or embarrassing.

Team Building Through Practical Training

There’s something different about a team that’s learned to look out for each other physically, not just talk about “trust” in the abstract.

Groups leave with a shared experience and a few skills that are actually useful — not just a corporate exercise everyone forgets by Monday.

Session Formats and Group Sizes

Groups of 8 to 30 work best, and larger teams can be split across two sessions the same day. Smaller groups get more individual correction, worth considering if the goal is skill-building rather than pure team bonding. We can run sessions at our downtown academy or come to your office or venue, provided there’s a clear floor area large enough to move safely.

How to Book Your Seminar

Pricing depends on group size, session length, and whether we travel to you, so every booking gets a written quote.

Repeat bookings and multi-session packages are discounted. Reach out with your dates and headcount and we’ll put together a quote.
